How urologists partner with oncologists to deliver durvalumab plus BCG for high‑risk bladder cancer—keeping care local through communication.

From same-day texts to shared clinic visits, 2 academic physicians describe the day-to-day mechanics of a urology-medical oncology partnership that actually works for patients.

Kari Tikkinen, MD, PhD, discusses POISE-3 findings showing tranexamic acid reduced major bleeding without significantly increasing thrombotic events in urologic surgery.

Mary Dunn, MSN, NP-C, OCN, RN, highlights advances in advanced prostate cancer, including earlier systemic therapy, PSMA-PET, and PARP inhibitors.

In this video, Scott Sellinger, MD, FACS, discusses factors beyond the presence of PTEN deficiency that may influence how clinicians approach capivasertib (Truqap) treatment in metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

Scott Bauer, MD, ScM, discusses an N-of-1 trial showing heterogeneous responses to long-term tamsulosin, identifying older men who may be candidates for deprescribing.

Chandler Park, MD, and Neal D. Shore, MD, FACS, hand community practices a concrete playbook for offering immunotherapy with BCG.

Neal D. Shore, MD, FACS, and Chandler Park, MD, further discuss POTOMAC data, including a 37% lower rate of cystectomy, subgroup HRs as low as 0.48, and 5-year OS data with no detriment.

Chandler Park, MD, and Neal D. Shore, MD, FACS, trace immune-related adverse events from melanoma's early days to today's playbook for community urology.

Neal D. Shore, MD, FACS, walks through exactly how POTOMAC's design showed durvalumab (Imfinzi) plus BCG improved disease-free survival in NMIBC.

Hans Arora, MD, PhD, discusses how communication and collaborative leadership can strengthen teamwork and performance in the operating room.

Neal D. Shore, MD, FACS, and Chandler Park, MD, share how the POTOMAC data, and a newly FDA-approved combination, are opening up shared decision-making with patients.

Daniel S. Kellner, MD, discusses patient selection for HoLEP and strategies for surgeons interested in adoption.

Ryan K. Flannigan, MD, discusses phase 2 data showing promising efficacy with sustained-release lidocaine in men with chronic scrotal pain.

Nima Almassi, MD, reviews long-term evidence for bladder preservation after systemic therapy in muscle-invasive bladder cancer.

In this video, Scott Sellinger, MD, FACS, discusses important considerations for urologists who may be prescribing capivasertib (Truqap) for the first time following its approval in PTEN-deficient metastatic hormone-sensitive prostate cancer.

Functional reconstructive urology emerged gradually as anatomical success proved insufficient—enabled by urodynamics, neurourology, and institutional milestones, according to Sasha Vereecken, BScN, RN.

Narmina Khanmammadova, MD, discusses interim findings on preoperative pelvic floor therapy and its potential to improve continence recovery after HoLEP.

Jessica Yih, MD, reviews evidence on testosterone therapy for female sexual dysfunction, highlighting promising but limited data in premenopausal women.

Mark D. Tyson II, MD, MPH, contextualizes the cretostimogene data within the broader BCG-unresponsive NMIBC treatment landscape, addresses the methodologic limitations of cross-trial comparison, discusses the heavily pretreated nature of the BOND-003 population, reviews his approach to treatment sequencing across available bladder-sparing options, and offers his central take-home message for urologists managing high-risk BCG-unresponsive disease.

The expert faculty emphasized that while new data continue to inform practice, treatment decisions must remain individualized and grounded in patient-specific factors, clinical judgment, and shared decision-making.
